You said, you are a bit older than 62 and still you are doing exercise and some part of gymnasium.
It makes you healthy & fit even it is very beneficial for you. Thanks for the post.

Does this benefit me?
I have recently "discovered" yoga and am hugely excited by it. As I am a bit older (62) and a raw beginner I am taking things pretty slowly. I try to do a routine of eight simple poses at least once most days and find it makes me feel fabulous.
Sometimes when I have a couple of spare minutes waiting, such as when the jug is boiling, I strike up a pose. Does this intermittent posing actually add anything to my physical wellbeing do you think? Or am I simple wasting my time doing them the odd time like that? Do you think the one offs help with toning? Just curious.
PS I am pretty active, do a lot of walking, go to Tai Chi and also the gym once per week. (Can't get more often as we live in the country)

Yoga and Tai Chi are good for your heart and nervous system. Your heart and your whole circulatory system will benefit immensely when you do your flexibility exercises - studies have shown. Balance, meditation, breathing and relaxation that you do both in Yoga and Tai Chi also do the same.

Thank you for your encouraging replies. One pose I find myself constantly doing in odd moments is the yoga Tree Pose where I stand on one leg. As I am getting older - heaven forbid! I am conscious of balance issues for later life and have taken to a number of exercise routines that will help keep me upright in future years. I heard that doing Tai Chi reduces the incidence of falling in seniors by up to 80%. Thats worth it now isn't it. Even if I didn't actually enjoy Tai Chi I would still do it I think for that benefit alone. The bonus is, I love it. Although toning is also important to me, I think that is secondary. Thanks again folks.
